Why does the vSphere desktop client take so long to authenticate if you enter the wrong password?

If you enter your password correctly, you get in within a second or so. On the other hand, if you mistype your password it'll spend a good 10-15 seconds trying to connect before giving you an error message. What makes these 2 cases so different?

In most other programs, a wrong password check is slightly faster than a successful login since there's no follow-up action needed.

Not 100% sure, but maybe due logon cache... Try logon with a brand new account and check if it will take the same amount of time.
